Krishna sporting with the gopis in the Jumna River, from a Bhagavata Purana
Colorful illustration on aged, brown paper with rough edges. The scene depicts a river with black and white wavy water. Krishna, a blue-skinned man wearing a white dhoti, plays with women in the river. The women wear colorful clothing, including red and white tops and blue, red, or white skirts; some hold lotus flowers. Two ducks swim among the women. Above the river, the blue sky contains a large white moon; two scenes on a red background depict people on a boat and on land. The people wear traditional Indian clothing and jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, and bangles. Lotus flowers float on the river.
